Changes include:
- Updating `llama_batch` to support `mtp_params`.
- Modifying `llama_decode_internal` (and `encode`) to handle MTP operations (Warmup, Update, Draft).
- Adding public APIs for MTP state management (`llama_set_draft_input_hidden_state`).
- Adapting the embedding extraction logic to skip MTP update passes.
* Refactors `server_slot` to support generic speculative decoding (MTP or Draft Model).
* core: enable hybrid outputs (logits + embeddings) for MTP support
* fix(mtp): correct KV-cache slot finding for updates
* fix(mtp): persist hidden states to prevent context corruption during drafting

* MLA TP prompt processing optimisation
Adds a per-rank prompt-processing path to build_deepseek2_tp_attention
that materialises K/V from the compressed latent cache and runs a
standard flash_attn instead of the FlashMLA-3 absorb kernel the TP
attention currently uses for all batch sizes. Affects MLA archs under
-sm graph (DEEPSEEK2, GLM_DSA, MISTRAL4).
Gated on n_tokens >= 128 (set by caller) AND n_kv >= 1024. Below
either threshold the absorb path runs unchanged. Token generation
takes the absorb path; only prompt processing at non-trivial context
materialises.
A second piece pre-computes wk_b in a pp_opt-favouring orientation
(wk_b_pp: [kv_lora_rank, qk_nope, n_head]) at llm_prepare_mla time,
so the per-PP-call materialise can mul_mat against the latent cache
directly without an F16 cast + permute + ggml_cont on wk_b each call.
Path A (wkv_b in GGUF) and Path B (only wk_b/wv_b in GGUF) both
populate wk_b_pp through the standard per-rank replica setup.
Measured on 8x RTX 3090, -sm graph -mla 2 -fa on:
DSV2.5 IQ2_XS c=8k ub=2048 PP +51% to +60%
GLM-4.7-Flash IQ4_XS c=32k ub=2048 PP -6% (PP@0) to +77% (PP@30720)
GLM-5.1 IQ1_S q4_0 c=16k ub=2048 PP +5% to +9%
PPL parity within +/-0.2 noise (DSV2.5 bit-identical 5.3917, GLM-4.7
8.83 vs 8.96, GLM-5.1 6.96 vs 7.00). Token-generation throughput
unchanged within noise.
Compute buffer at init:
DSV2.5 -54 MiB total (allocator noise)
GLM-4.7-Flash +1042 MiB total (~+173 MiB per non-output device)
GLM-5.1 0 (MoE intermediates dominate)
* MLA TP: respect mla=1 vs mla=3 distinction, rename attn_k_b_pp -> attn_kv_b
ikawrakow/ik_llama.cpp#1841 review feedback: the pp_opt path lost the
intended trade-off where mla=1 forgoes pp_opt to save VRAM and mla=3 pays
the wk_b_pp tensor cost for faster long-context PP.
- llm_prepare_mla second pass: gate wk_b_pp synthesis on mla > 1.
Models that ship wk_b in their GGUF (mainline format) no longer
allocate the pp_opt-favoring K weight under mla=1.
- llm_prepare_mla first pass (wk_b synthesis from wkv_b): keep
unconditional under -sm graph. The wk_b_pp materialization here
shares the wk_b_f32 intermediate with the wk_b synthesis above, and
isolating just the wk_b_pp branch leaves the synthesized wk_b in a
state that makes the absorb path produce inf on some quant combos
(DSV2.5 IQ2_XS). Trade: the synthesized-wkv_b path still pays the
wk_b_pp allocation under mla=1, but the bigger compute-buffer
saving (no pp_opt branch at runtime) still applies.
- build_deepseek2 outer pp_opt: include cparams.mla_attn > 1 in the
pp_opt definition itself, so mla=1 is bypassed throughout (TP and
non-TP attention paths).
- build_deepseek2 tp pp_opt: require wk_b_pp present. Drop the dead
runtime wk_b transpose fallback (unreachable now that wk_b_pp is
guaranteed when tp_pp_opt fires).
- llama_kv_cache_init: have_wkv_b probe now treats wk_b_pp (attn_kv_b)
as equivalent to wkv_b for the purposes of allowing mla>1 to stay
put. Without this, -sm graph models that have wk_b/wv_b separately
in the GGUF (no combined wkv_b) would silently downgrade to mla=1.
- Rename the synthesized tensor "attn_k_b_pp.weight" -> "attn_kv_b.weight"
to match the mainline naming ik uses.
GLM-5.1 in particular benefits: its mla=3 PP improvement over mla=1 is
negligible on this arch (~0.4% in our sweeps), so users save the
runtime cost by sticking to mla=1.
* MLA tensor parallelism under -sm graph (DEEPSEEK2/GLM_DSA/MISTRAL4)
Extends -sm graph (split-mode graph) to MLA-style attention across the
DEEPSEEK2, GLM_DSA, and MISTRAL4 architectures. Previously these archs
fell back to -sm layer regardless of the user's flag.
Implementation:
- Per-rank attention build in build_deepseek2_tp_attention with
view-sliced FlashAttention, split-buffer output projection, and
ggml_reduce across devices
- wk_b / wv_b absorbed weights replicated per device via materialize()
in llm_prepare_mla (these can't live in a split buffer)
- KV cache replication path (replicated_k_l) for graph-mode TP
- distribute_mla_tensors_for_split_mode_graph routes attention/norm
tensors into ctx_split; expert tensors stay per-layer
- Implements ggml_backend_cuda_split_buffer_get_tensor for the
replicated / row-split / col-split inverse paths
- Early-reject guard in src/llama.cpp that auto-downgrades -sm graph
to -sm layer (with a warning) when incompatible loader flags are set:
-ncmoe, -cmoe, -ot, -rtr, -muge
New CLI flag:
- -gap | --graph-attn-precision <f16|f32> (default f16)
See the PR description for the full validation matrix (3 archs x 2/4/8
GPU counts), perf numbers, VRAM accounting, and known limitations.
* Some tweaks
* materialize lambda: per-head split for graph-mode tp_replicate
7dd19e19 changed wk_b/wv_b distribution from mirror to per-head split
(split_dim=2) via prepare_split_tensors. That path only fires when
wk_b/wv_b are loaded from GGUF.
Models that store only wkv_b in GGUF derive wk_b/wv_b at load via
llm_prepare_mla, going through the materialize lambda, which was
untouched and still produced mirror replicas (split_dim=-1, full n_head
per device).
build_deepseek2_tp_attention now does mul_mat(wk_b_local, q_nope_perm)
without the prior view_3d slice, so a mirror replica passes an n_head
tensor where the kernel expects n_head_local. Result: silent SIGSEGV
right after model load.
Mirror logic in materialize is replaced with the same per-head split as
prepare_split_tensors: head_offsets derived from wo split, each rank
gets a tensor with ne[2]=n_head_local, data copied from the appropriate
source byte slice. Singular `computed` tensor keeps full metadata for
tensors_by_name lookups.
Tested: 8x3090, -sm graph -mla 3 -fa on now boots cleanly and
sweep-benches without crash. Log confirms new path: "Computed
blk.X.attn_k_b.weight ... split across N devices on dim=2".
* cleanup: indent fix + remove dead view_3d slicing and debug printf
- build_deepseek2.cpp: re-indent the self_attention block in
build_deepseek2_layer_attention (lines 253-670). Block was at column 0
inside a function body; now at the expected 4/8-space indent.
- build_deepseek2.cpp: drop the commented-out view_3d slicing and debug
printfs left over after 7dd19e19's switch to direct mul_mat on
per-rank wk_b_local / wv_b_local. Update the stale 'wk_b is
replicated (split_dim=-1)' comment to match the new split_dim=2
reality.
- ggml-cuda.cu: remove the leftover debug printf in
ggml_backend_cuda_split_buffer_get_tensor.
No behavior change. Verified with a clean rebuild and DSV2.5 +
GLM-4.7-Flash sweep-bench runs.
* llm_load_tensors: gate incompatible-flag warning to MLA archs
The -ncmoe / -rtr / -muge / -ot warning under -sm graph currently fires
for all archs that support graph mode. That's an over-reach: the
incompatibility is specific to the MLA TP paths (DEEPSEEK2, GLM_DSA,
MISTRAL4) — Gemma4 graph mode existed pre-PR and works with those flags.
Gate the warning to MLA archs only.
Also refreshes two stale comments left over from the wk_b/wv_b
mirror -> per-head-split rewrite:
- src/llama.cpp llm_prepare_mla: "Replicate wk_b/wv_b ..." now reads
"Per-head split wk_b/wv_b ..." to match what the materialize lambda
actually does post-823a39e2.
- src/llama-load-tensors.cpp distribute_mla_tensors_for_split_mode_graph:
drop the wkv_b row-split mention (wkv_b is no longer created under
graph mode after 7dd19e19) and correct the wk_b/wv_b distribution
description (per-head split, not per-device replicated).

* Increase GGML_SCHED_MAX_SPLITS - required for larger u-batches
* Fix CPU concat in the TG case: 7.25 -> 10.5 t/s for Qwen3Next
* Fix CPU sum_rows: 10.5 -> 13.6 t/s for Qwen3Next
It was single-threaded and was taking ~25% of the computation time
during TG. It is now down to 2%.
Strangely enough, I measure 13.6 t/s with llama-bench, but if I
let the model give me an actual response with llama-cli, I get close
to 17 t/s.
* Fix CPU scale: 13.6 -> 16.7 t/s for Qwen3Next
For Qwen3Next there is a scale op on a largish tensor (548k elements)
that has a single row for TG, so was done in a single thread.
We now simply use blocks of 1024 elements.
* Optimize CPU mul: 16.7 -> 17.6 t/s for Qwen3Next
* CPU: fuse transpose -> cont -> sum_rows -> transpos: 17.6 -> 23.1 t/s for Qwen3Next
* Optimize CPU repeat: 176 -> 200 t/s for Qwen3Next PP-512
* Multithreading for OP_SUB
* Don't commit with timing trace on
* Multithread neg and sigmoid
* Be able to turn on/off fusion more easily (CPU)
* Name the mul_mat ops so we know where the time goes
* WIP
* Much better PP on CUDA
* CUDA: fuse transpose -> cont -> sum_rows -> transpose
Needs non-coontiguous variant of sum_rows.
On the CPU this gave 30+% improvement in TG performance,
on CUDA ist is disapointing 6-7%. I guess, this is because
Georgi's cont CPU implementation was so bad that skipping
it made such a big difference.
* CUDA: faster mul for special case relevant for Qwen3Next
Worth 1% in TG
* Fix CPU OP_CONT

However, extremely stupid. The only way I could correctly repack the
up/gate experts is to copy up and gate into host buffers, repack
into another host buffer, copy back into the ffn_up_gate_exps tensor.
This is going to be very slow for giant 500 GB models.
My attempts to do this via a compute graph on the backend holding
the tensors was unsuccessful.
For GPT-OSS-20B I see ~6-7% better PP when using the original
ik_llama.cpp fused_up_gate CUDA implementation, and ~10% when
using the small batch size implementation.
Other models are not working yet on CUDA as I need to fix the
fused mul-unary implementation.

I guess, I'm not using NCCL the right way as PP is very

But if I create 4 communicator groups for pairs of GPUs

1500 t/s for L3-70B on the 4x3090 system, which is
~20% better than the previous sm graph without NCCL.
But that cannot be the solution (I cannot be creating pairwise
communicators and associated logic for every possible number of GPUs).

Required adding the "temperature scaling" to the standard attention
implementation.
But in this way split mode "graph" is automatically supported.
Co-authored-by: Iwan Kawrakow <iwan.kawrakow@gmail.com>
* Remove most of split mode row
* WIP
* WIP: also allocate the KV cache using tensor split
* WIP: it runs with wrong result
But it also looks like the backend scheduler is not going to help:
* It copies mask and input positions to GPU 0
* => RoPE ops must run on GPU 0
* => To proceed attn evaluation, GPU 1 must wait for GPU 0 to finish its
entire attn calculation
* Same with FFN. The rms_norm gets scheduled on GPU 0. Hence, GPU 1 must
wait for GPU 0 to finish its entore FFN calculation before it can
start (as it needs to copy the result of rms_norm from GPU 0)
* => Seems useless without writing a bespoke TP scheduling
* WIP
* This works, but it is slow
* This is slightly better
the graph is still not being computed in parallel.
Why? Because the scheduler creates graph splits where the
result of the computation on one GPU becomes an input for the
other split. Hence, to trigger the computation on the second GPU
one needs to wait for the computation on the first GPU to finish,
even thiough the two can be done in parallel up to the sunchronization
point. So, all that is left to do is to trick the scheduler to create
to splits that can be done in parallel, and then have a graph split
where the results get combined.
* Playing games with the scheduler
This change tricks it into doing the right thing^TM.
Still quite a bit slower than split mode layer for the 8B LlaMA model.
But for the 70B LlaMA it now beats split mode layer for TG:
28 t/s vs 24.4 t/s. PP is 627 t/s vs 744 t/s.
In comparison, split mode "row" in mainline gets
484 t/s PP and 19.3 t/s TG.
* Fix attn split
Granularity for Wq, Wo is not just head size, but
head size * gqa_ratio.
Else the Wk, Wv tensors end up not being a multiple of the
head size when we divide the split determined by Wo with
the gqa_ratio.
* Show memory used per device
* Make it work with partial offload
but no tensor overrides yet, just ngl < num_layers.
* Allow for f16 source in fused_rms_norm
* This results in faster PP.
Now PP is faster than split mode layer for L3-70B.
* Rename split mode "row" to split mode "graph"
* Leave FFN partial results as f16
* WIP GLM4.5 - runs with wrong results
* WIP GLM4.5 - this works
PP is already better than split mode layer, but TG for zero context
is kind of low - 60 vs 92 t/s. TG becomes better than split mode layer
at around 20k tokens. PP at 26k tokens is 1.55X of sm layer.
* Work around compiler bug
It issues a warning that there is an extra semicolon outside of a function,
but there isn't. If I remove the anonymous namespace and turn the
functions inside into static, the warning disapears, so clearly
a compiler bug.
* Make graph reuse work with split mode graph
* Remove more split mode row remnants
* WIP tensor overrides
Runs with wrong results, don't see where the issue could be.
